Knitted t-shirt bag.

Hey all. ^^ My first post here... This took me a whole week to make, about 30 hours of labor, four shirts, and a lot of patience. =] I took apart all the shirts by a seamripper, and 's all handsewn, as I can't trust myself with the machine yet. Hehe. The finished product is quite heavy (it's a whole whopping pound), as it's technically the weight of almost four shirts, but I'm still really happy with the way it turned out. I'm planning to make more in the future, but these are SO time consuming...

Take a peek and leave me some comments! Thanks.




I used these shirts either because a) they didn't fit me anymore or b) I'd never wear them. I used the striped one, the Hong Kong one, the star one, and the white one for this project.


When cut into strips and sewn together, it makes a ginormous roll.


I'm er... very creative when it comes to the tools I use... xP Knitting with fabric required bigger needles than the ones I own.




Closeups. ^^ I have tons more, but I don't think you all want to be bored by them.




The pocket took me ages to make and holds a cellphone or camera or wallet or whatever you want to put in it. Ignore my ugly fingers. xP.






and here's it being worn!


All credit of using t-shirts to knit goes to Lekkner; check her stuff out! She's absolutely brilliant. =]
